Re: Yam Shop In Livingston........
This is another example of their people not understanding the market.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Hibs have always said their research into the viability of shops up town or elsewhere indicates they would not trade at a profit that would justify or outweigh the expense. The Ugly Sisters shops have also been something of a flop up town too (though you would flippin hope so, eh?). To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. The venture that saw Hibs rent space from Debenhams at Ocean Terminal whilst shop alterations were undertaken was seemingly a reasonable success however and they have indicated that might be the only alternative outlet they might consider using in the future. Renting floor space in an established successful trader was much less of a risk. Trouble the shops all now have is the success of online shopping as a phenonmenon. My laddies both got Arsenal and Liverpool merchandise from Santa that would not have been likely or easy to get even a decade ago. All Santa did was visit two club websites, no sleigh ride, no hassle. The club shop at the stadium has been very successfully grown and expanded by Hibs and the range of stuff is at an all time high imho (but when I was a bairn the best you could hope for was bar scarves, metal badges and pennants To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. - so I guess its a no brainer by comparison today ). Traffic into the shop on match day is always brisk and it will always sell a fair bit on these occasions. But then, it has some major advantages over its rival outlets. It's not pink. It's not in Gorgie. It doesn't sell stuff from Yukkio Bankers.

Re: Yam Shop In Livingston........
still fair play to them for trying to expand. we all knew it wouldnt work out in the end and this shows what a good decision it was by hibs not to open other outlets. if i ever need anything hibs related i would go to ER for it anyway but having 3 shops in edinburgh seems a bit pointless. if hearts continued there success of 2 years ago then i believe they could have maybe sustained another shop and expanded but what goes up must come down apart from your age. and fortunatly there success only lasted a pawlty year. it would have to be the year we had the best chance to win the cup mind you but thats all forgotten about now isnt it

It could only, maybe, work with an Edinburgh football shop.

Re: Yam Shop In Livingston........
personally always knew it would be a bad idea.
lets think. hibs have the one shop, and its part of the stadium. therefore electricity etc can all be paid as one, also everyone is on a par with each other, they know how much everything costs, and the store can run smoother. hearts have 3 or 4 stores not including the store at the PBS. therefore the bills off each store must be sold seprately, and the stores do not make as much money individually. also more wages have to be paid, and more money is wasted on excess orders of crap
